The Best Of All These Things

Exodus 37:1-9
1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. 2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. 3 He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. 4 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 8 He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.


It is recorded here how they made the ark of the covenant. It was lavished with fine gold and created with very nice wood. It was decorated and created with splendor.

God spent nothing less than the best to create all these different items. They had pure gold, fine cloths, nice wood, all of the best. All the best for the Lord. Is our lives all the best for the Lord as well?

Father God, I thank you for who You are. You are the God of this Universe and You love me. I want to give You the best in my life. You have given me all things and I want to show my appreciation by giving You my best. I want to give you the best in my talents, my time, my energy, my finances, my works. Lord, You deserve it. I want to thank You for all these things in Jesus Mighty name.
Amen.
